Boxiecat Glo™ Crystal Kitty Litter, 6lb

My wife and I run a kitten foster home, so we’re always on the lookout for products that might make our feline friends’ lives a bit easier and our home a bit cleaner. First off, the concept of UV sparkles visible only to cats is fascinating. It's designed to guide them to the litter box, potentially reducing behavioral issues and house-soiling, which sounded perfect for our varying crew of foster kittens. However, in practice, we didn't observe any noticeable change in how the kittens approached or used their litter boxes. They seemed neither more nor less attracted to the litter than usual. As for the 30-day odor control claim, this was another key reason for our interest. With multiple kittens always in the house, anything that promises extended odor control is a must-try. Sadly, we didn’t find it to be any more effective than our usual litter. While it didn’t perform badly, it didn't live up to the heightened expectations set by its product description either. In terms of texture and dust, the crystal litter is fairly typical of non-clumping varieties. It's less messy than some clumping litters and doesn’t track as much around the house, which is a plus. However, without the litter clumping, it's sometimes harder to keep the box as clean as one might like, which can deter cats from using it—something that's particularly problematic in a foster home setting where you're trying to encourage good habits. Overall, while the idea behind this litter is innovative and it’s always exciting to try new technology designed for pets, this particular product didn’t make a significant difference in our litter box routine. We wouldn't purchase it again, mainly because it didn’t stand out compared to other products that are more effective or better suited to our needs. It's a great concept, but the execution didn't quite hit the mark for us, resulting in a 3 out of 5 stars rating.
